Day 1: Delhi Arrival

Location: Delhi

Welcome to Delhi! This is a monumental city boasting a fascinating mix of old and new bazaars, elegant British boulevards, powerful Mughal palaces and forts, and intricate, ethereal towers, temples, and tombs. Upon arrival at Delhi International Airport, you will be met by our company representative and transferred to your hotel.




Overnight in Delhi

Day 2: Delhi - Agra (205 Kms / 3 Hrs) (B/-/-)

Location: Agra

After breakfast embark on a tour of Old and New Delhi. You will visit Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhis serene and evocative cremation site, India Gate (the War Memorial) and the Presidents House (exterior views), and the Bahai Lotus Temple (closed on Mondays). This distinctive lotus-shaped marvel in marble is a symbol that represents peace. From there you will continue your journey to the Qutub Minar, a stunning 240-foot minaret and the tallest in the world, surrounded by an elaborate complex built in the Indo-Islamic architectural tradition. Drive to the medieval city of Agra, home to the famous Taj Mahal. Agra is one of Indias top tourist attractions for this reason specifically — although its attractions also feature a wide range of other impressive historical sites. The Taj, however, is in a league of its own and is a must-see for any visitor to the city. Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 15th century as a memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, it is an architectural masterpiece of exquisite craftsmanship and perfect proportions. Enjoy your evening at your own leisure (no services offered). You may visit the citys hidden alleyways and lively spice markets or hop on a cycle rickshaw and admire colorful Hindu temples and traditional mosques. Choose to visit a local restaurant to enjoy incredible Indian food.




Overnight in Agra

Day 3: Agra (B/-/-)

Location: Agra

Today you will visit the Taj Mahal (closed on Fridays). Widely considered the pinnacle of Mughal art in India, the Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. When declaring it a World Heritage Site, UNESCO described it as “The Jewel of Muslim Art in India”. Few words can be used to describe the magnificence of this monument. Marvel over the lights and colors which transform this stunning monument in the beautiful dawn glow. Return to the hotel later to enjoy a Marble craftsmanship demonstration.




Overnight in Agra

Day 4: Agra - Jaipur (250 Kms / 5 Hrs) (B/-/-)

Location: Jaipur

Today you will drive to Jaipur. Enjoy an en-route visit to Fatehpur Sikri — an eerily abandoned capital from the Mughal Empire (1570-1586). Akbar built this city to celebrate the birth of his son and future heir to the throne, Emperor Jahangir. Although Akbar is believed to have been illiterate, he took great interest in the arts and architecture. Fatehpur Sikri is one of his greatest masterpieces. Sadly, the historic town served as the capital for a little over a decade and was abandoned for its lack of accessible water. Later, enjoy a demonstration of gem-cutting and polishing. Upon arrival in the evening, check-in to the hotel. Jaipur, Rajasthans capital, is also known as the Pink City. The origin of this nickname will become immediately apparent as you enter the old city walls and discover the pink-colored buildings that rise at every turn!




Overnight in Jaipur

Day 5: Jaipur (B/-/-)

Location: Jaipur

Begin your day with an exhilarating excursion to Amber Fort. Situated on a hillside on the outskirts of town, the palace was constructed by Maharaja Man Singh, the commander of Akbars army, in the 1590s. Maharaja was largely motivated by the highly defensible location. This is a beautiful and very well-preserved structure, built on four levels and surrounded by ruins, which served as the backdrop for the Mira Nair movie “Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love.” Enjoy an afternoon at leisure or perhaps join our optional tour.




Overnight in Jaipur

Day 6: Jaipur - Pushkar (140 Kms /3.5 Hrs) (B/-/-)

Location: Pushkar

Before breakfast, join our optional tour of Hot Air Ballooning over Jaipur at sunrise.



In the morning you will drive to Pushkar — a sacred city for Hindus. Surrounded by hills on three sides and dunes on the fourth, Pushkar offers a fascinating location and perfect setting for the annual religious and cattle fair (held in November). What is a quiet, secluded desert town for 51 weeks a year, for a few days it turns into an incredible and authentic extravaganza during the annual Pushkar Fair. Drawing people from all around the globe, this festival is arguably the largest camel and cattle-trading fair in the world. Upon arrival in Pushkar, you will check-in at the hotel. Enjoy a walking tour of, Brahma, the holy city of God. Visit the holy Pushkar Lake and the famous 8th century Brahma Temple dedicated to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe and the only bull temple in the world. Experience a special Pooja ceremony at a Ghat with a Hindu priest on the banks of Pushkar Lake.




Overnight in Pushkar

Day 7: Pushkar - Udaipur (260 Kms / 5 Hrs) (B/-/-)

Location: Udaipur

After breakfast, you will drive to Udaipur. Udaipur is a majestic city of lakes and palaces. Founded by Maharana Udai Singh in 1559 and fondly referred to as Rajasthans most romantic city, its rich history is matched by its picturesque setting of the Aravalli Mountains and three manmade lakes. Upon arrival in Udaipur, you will check in to your hotel. After some short rest, explore the city on your own or choose to join our optional tour.




Overnight in Udaipur

Day 8: Udaipur (B/-/-)

Location: Udaipur

We will start our day at the City Palace, overlooking the blue waters of Lake Pichola. Maharana Udai Singh initiated construction in 1559 A.D., and it was subsequently expanded, with impressive uniformity, by several succeeding Maharanas. The palace boasts numerous breathtaking courtyards and gardens. The main hall has been converted into a museum, housing opulent artifacts and original works of art. Inside the complex we will discover the exquisite crystal gallery, exhibiting 19th-century pieces including crystal chandeliers, tables, sofas, and beds. We will continue walking towards the Jagdish Temple to study its many remarkable friezes. Lavishly built in 1651 by Maharana Jagat Singh, it is easy to understand why Jagdish is the most venerated Hindu temple in Udaipur. From there, we will explore the Old City, wandering through the bustling streets lined with art shops, spice vendors, tailors, and more.




Overnight in Udaipur

Day 9: Udaipur - Delhi (By Flight) (B/-/-)

Location: Delhi

After breakfast, you will transfer to the airport for a connecting flight to Delhi. Upon arrival check in to your hotel. 




Overnight in Delhi

Day 10: Delhi - Kathmandu (By Flight) (B/-/-)

Location: Kathmandu

Today you will be transferred to the airport to catch your flight to Kathmandu. Upon arrival in Kathmandu check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure.




Overnight in Kathmandu

Day 11: Kathmandu - Chitwan (B/-/D)

Overnight in Chitwan

Day 12: Chitwan (B/L/D)

Location: Chitwan National Park

Get ready for a full day of jungle activities. Our Naturalist will drive you to the core area of Chitwan National Park. Crossing the savannahs and entering the dense Chitwan, you would get fair chances to spot local birds and animals (you can count on Rhinos) in their natural habitat. The forest is quiet and active, and we will take care of comfort throughout your safari.




Overnight in Chitwan

07-Dec-2023

Booked Mystical Egypt tour with them visiting Cairo and a 03 Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan in May. All services were perfect since the time we arrived at the airport, we were met by a hospitable Indus Representative who helped us with the purchase of local SIM and currency exchange. He was always there in time to assist for transfers. The Amwaj Cruise which we took from Luxor to Aswan was a Gem. We had great guides and all sightseeing worked like a clockwork. We enjoyed visiting Karnak Temples, Temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and the boat ride to see Phillae Temple. Evening entertainment on cruise were great and engaging. In Cairo and Aswan, we had ample leisure time to explore on own, the Pyramids were impressive and visiting Khan e Khalili was fun. Overall and impressive and enjoyable tour, Thanks to Indus Travels!

Indus Travel runs a highly professional organization. From customer service to brochures, bookings, tour guides, etc. and the consideration for their customers is superb. This was the first time I had travelled with Indus Travels. We took the Taste of Portugal Tour. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging, and entertaining. This company is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational vacation with fine food - they will deliver! We will never forget this trip and we are already planning for another one to Wonders of Italy, Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

We were looking for a customized, small group tour. We took a chance on Indus without knowing much about the company. We just returned from our trip to Greece and are more than highly please and satisfied with our experience. They planned an amazing itinerary, booked amazing hotels, hired knowledgeable tour guides and arranged high quality transportation services. Everyone went above and beyond to please us. We are already planning a trip for next year (2024) and will definitely use Indus to do so.

07-Mar-2024

My wife and I along with three friends signed up the tour to Mexico from Indus Travel. The total 12-day Maya Culture trip really gave us opportunities to learn Mexico indigenous cultures thoroughly. We have seen a lot of ruins and pyramids, each of them has different representations and can tell the history of what was happening atthat time. We also had chances to visit the indigenous families toexperence the real Mexican people's life inthe rural area. The views of volcanoes, villages and canyons are also unforgettable. This is a small group with total 7 tourists, our driver/tour guide is a very experienced guide, he explained the history in sequence of events in and out. Most of all with 2500km driving he made us fell safe with his skills. All in all, this trip worths a 5+ star. I was so surprised that Indus Travel assigned a tour coordinator dedicated to our group, Kathlene helped a lot to make the arrangement for the whole trip and made us worry free.

13-Nov-2023

I booked a trip with Indus to South Africa and had a fabulous time! It was easy to book the trip online and any questions I had were answered very quickly by Sabine. The hotels we stayed at were very nice and in good locations. Our tours were well organized and our safari in Kruger National park was definitely a highlight. A few mornings had a bright and early start, but this allowed us to accomplish quite a lot in a day. The hotel restaurants had decent food, which was convenient if we had a longer day and didn't want to go out to eat. Overall, I was very happy with the trip and I felt the price for my tour was excellent value. I would definitely use Indus again!

04-Jan-2024

Exploring Bogota was fantastic - a lively city with so much to see. The Gold Museum was a highlight, taking us on a journey through centuries of history. We spent hours there, fascinated by the detailed exhibits showcasing the rich culture. After Bogota, we flew to St. Andres, a Caribbean paradise. Despite some rain during the 'rainy season,' the island's charm and our packed sightseeing schedule made every moment unforgettable. Activities like mangrove kayaking, snorkeling, and island hopping showcased St. Andres' natural beauty. WE even rescued a sick blue heron during our tour and transferred it to rescue services. The food was another standout. Local cuisine was not only delicious but also budget-friendly, offering a unique blend of flavors. I love seafood especially seviche, and I was trully impress by quality and diversity. But what really made our trip special was the people. Friendliness was everywhere, whether chatting with locals or getting tips on hidden gems. The genuine hospitality added an extra layer of joy to an already amazing journey. Bogota and St. Andres left a lasting impression, going beyond sightseeing to truly experience the heart and soul of these incredible destinations. Big thank you to Indus team, who put together this trip for me. I am looking forward to exploring other South American countries with Indus.

Glimpse of Egypt Quick paced tour taken after Egypt opened back up to tourists, particularly Americans. Went in November and weather was beautiful. Decent hotels and overnight Nile cruise. You will see a lot on this tour and be aware there are some early wake ups. Lots of walking but doable if you're in decent shape. Overall a fun tour with all the sites you have only seen in books!
